Likely resulting from the various complaints regarding the iOS 10.1, it has been revealed that Apple has started seeding the 5th beta version of the soon-to-be-released iOS 10.2. This testing comes in just a little over a month after the technology giant released the first big update of its iOs 10. In addition, this is merely four days after the iOs 10.2 4th beta version was seeded.

Recently, Apple had received comments from customers on how the iOS 10.1.1 update would not only drain the battery but even result to unexpected shutdowns. This has been happening particularly for users of the iPhone 6s. Specifically, many users have found out that in merely minutes, the battery power drops to 50% and when it reaches 20% to 30%, immediately powers down. With the iOS 10.2, many are hoping that this particular issue could be solved.

In the meantime, Apple revealed that it be offering to those affect the chance to get replacement batteries free of charge. This however does not solve the matter entirely as the same issue has apparently started cropping up in the company's other devices. It appears that the company may likely be putting in in the iO2 10.2 update.

Aside from potentially solving the battery power issue, Apple will also introduce new emojis with the iOS 10.2 update. These include, among many others, the face palm, selfie, clown face, and even food like the croissant and avocado. Profession emoji will be included as well like doctor, mechanic, and scientist, to name a few. What makes it different this time is that the professions will be in female and male genders.

It will not be limited to emojis as the iOS 10.2 update will also bring with it new wallpaper. There will even be new buttons for the Shuffle and Repeat and even new sorting options for Music. One big change would be the inclusion of Apple's official TV app which will serve to replace the Video app.
